Is there anything out there that supports DTS audio for the PC? Most of my movies have DTS sound and using something like the Mixamp results in no sound because there is no DTS support.

An A/V receiver such as Pioneer has excellent headphone surround that supports everything including DTS & Dolby TrueHD. It can't decode DTS HDMA but, will use the core DTS instead. I use XBMC for my Bluray .mkv's and it works perfectly with my entire 300+ collection. I actually prefer the Pioneer virtual headphone surround sound compared to my Mixamp Pro (+ it acts as pretty strong amp as well). Or the Victor SU-DH1 which I found to be near impossible to find.

Edit: I should have mentioned I have a HTPC not a desktop setup, sorry.

Hey Must Love Envy, should I purchase the Mediabridge 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable for my X1's? Would it effect sound quality in a positive way? Also, should I be worried about the cable jack eventually failing? Last of all, do you think the ear pads will last a long time? I've read that they are not removable.

They look identical to the mediabridge cable, and I have a feeling they're the same cable (probably same OEM). Chico confirmed the Monoprice cable to be 0.4ohms, so you should be set. I can't confrim the Mediabridge cable's resistance until about 8 hours from now. You can wait until I conform the resistance, but the Mediabridge cable is twice as expensive for probably the same exact cable.

As for the pads, as long as you're not wearing them while being all dirty or wet or something, the pads should last a long time. If anything happens, I'd just contact Philips for a pad replacement. Not sure how long they'll be in business, though they'll probably transfer all the warranties and repairs to Funai.

The worst kind of pads in terms of long use is cheap pleather, which start to flake.Edited by Mad Lust Envy - 6/23/13 at 11:35pm

Hi mad lust envy. Your guide is very helpful to me but I still have some questions regarding on which headphone I should get. I now have astro a50 but its mic problem is very annoying when talking quietly . I wonder if byerdynamic dt990 would250ohm pro (160) has better sound than a50? Fun wise. And u said it got strong clamp I also have a m50 and it hurts after 2hours of gaming I wonder if dt990 would hurt as bad? Thank you so much!

DT990's are far and away the most comfy pair I've ever owned. I could wear them all day with no issues at all. They will sound worlds better than the M50's for all applications and be a lot more comfy.

Like Chico said, avoid that cable like the plague. It's a incredibly bulky. Like having two thick cables paired into one. (THICK cables per each channel). But the one that looks like the Mediabridge cable. Same low resistance (0.4ohm). I confirmed it today.

Brotherhood is so good, it renders the original pointless. No, really. It's amazing. The story deviates from the original by quite a bit. New characters are introduced, and the way it ends, it may as well be a different story altogether.
